Doin' a modern dance

Image
I'm a city soul. I lived in big cities all my life, and hated my only camping adventure -though it might have had to do with the 2 drunk guys snoring in my tent. Still I feel the urge to leave it all behind go to somewhere secluded. Its not that I am having a bad time, I am lovin' it to live in a city. It's just that the idea of being alone, and feeling the utter beauty of nature, and act as if all of it were made for me is very very tempting. Just like Lou Reed, the poet of the post-modern metropolitan male, says in his song Modern Dance: So maybe I should go to Tanganyika where the rivers run, down mountains tall and steep or go to India to study chants and lose romance to a mantra's dance So if I had the chance to go right now, these would have been my choices: 1- Patagonia, Argentina 2- Shetland Islands, Scotland 3- Rural Iceland 4- Kamcahtka, Russia

Sigur Ros' documentary about their 2007 free Iceland tour, whey they gave free and un-advertised concerts across Iceland can be watched on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lr4s7KeCbV8 I had seen it here in Berlin, and loved it so much that I bought a DVD of it. I believe those who like Sigur Ros will do the same.
